[Antir_scribes] Basic Gouache colors

[Carla Thomas]

Bronwen,
Thank you for responding!!  I was beginning to wonder.

The original conversation was... well, forever ago (actually, it was 
July). I just dug it up because I was looking for something specific, 
then noticed the problems.

I must have missed the Mistletoe... but it too has been discontinued.  
The recommended replacement is Permanent Green Middle... sorry you lost 
a favorite.

I did have one person respond in person, and they said the list was 
confusing... sorry... I was really trying to make it useful, and get as 
much information included as I could find.  I may have gotten carried 
away.  It happens a lot.  =-(

If you would like clarification, I can try to keep it simple... really!!!

IS,
Maedha
